Duotight Push-In Fitting - 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) x 1/2 in. BSP Ball Valve

This Duotight ball valve with 1/2" male thread is perfect for attaching to the water input on the Copper Counterflow Chiller (WC130), allowing you to adjust the waterflow while chilling your wort. Compatible with EVABarrier 9.5 mm OD tubing (D1719).

 

Duotight fittings are high-quality push-in fittings that seal tight and offer superior sealing capacity due to the double O-ring sealing design.

 

The secret to Duotight’s superior sealing performance comes from the fact that they use not one, but two high-quality EPDM O-rings.  The double O-ring means they have literally twice the sealing surface when compared with other push-in fittings.  This makes them more reliable and significantly reduces the chance of leakage.

 

The double O-ring system also means that tubing can be bent at a much tighter radius without causing leaking issues, which can be an issue with other fittings.  This combination of factors makes Duotight the most reliable push-in fittings on the market.

 

EPDM offers excellent chemical resistance for a longer life span. When compared with silicone and vinyl, EPDM has much better gas transmission rates, better wear resistance, and is BPA-free.

 

We recommend cutting your tubing straight, not on an angle, to ensure the line forms a complete seal. To remove the fitting simply push in the collet and the hose can be removed.
